    Default Lumatek 600w Heat + Buzz

    Hey everyone. I've had this running for 1h 20m now and I must say, it's pretty hot. You can leave your hand on it for a while but it's supposed to be "cool running" and silent which brings me to the second question. If I put my ear up near the ballast I can hear a buzz sound, very similar to the magnetic again. Just wondering if this is normal or should I get it changed. Room temp is approx 25℃ if that helps in any way.

    I have the 250w version of this.

    It never gets above room temp & is as silent as a church mouse

    I can only hear the buzz if my ears basically up against the ballast. Just not sure if normal. Maybe mine runs hotter because it's a 600?

    Cheers mate. It's not hot, hot. But on a scale of 1 to 10, the magnetic 250 was like a 9/10. This is more like a 6/10. Both make a slight buzz sound when ear was up against them.

    I think it may have been because the room temp was no good. Hot air build up seemed relatively high. Extracted air is much cooler atm and so is the lamp which is good and ballast temp is a 5/10 i'd say
